Waiting for insider-trading charges in 3, 2, 1, …
Investors who followed President Donald Trump’s blunt advice to buy stocks on Wednesday morning received a windfall when the president hours later rolled back some of his market-roiling tariffs.
At 9:37 a.m. ET, just minutes after the opening bell, Trump posted on Truth Social that “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” That post ended with the letters “DJT,” …
A clip was recently shared on TikTok, which shows the President appearing to fall asleep while attending a major event. The footage appears to show First Lady, Melania Trump, trying to keep him awake as he dozes off during a National Prayer Service.
Over the video, which shows him closing his eyes and dozing off during a musical performance, the content creator wrote: “Melania makes sure Trump doesn’t turn prayer service into nap time”.
The video has left people stunned, as they can’t believe he would do something that could be considered “disrespectful” at such an important event. It’s claimed he “struggled to stay awake”, causing his wife to subtly intervene.
One person said: “Time to call him sleepy Don.” Another wrote: “Sleepy.”
A third thought it was for good reason though, as they added: “Considering the mess he’s been cleaning up, I say my boy is very tired.”
Yet he whines about “Sleep Joe” Biden? Look in the mirror, Bubba!

It’s a dog-eat-dog world:
Elon Musk’s younger brother has launched an extraordinary public attack on Donald Trump after the President issued retaliatory tariffs on the world last week.
Kimbal Musk, 52 – a businessman and restaurateur – owns The Kitchen Restaurant Group and is a sitting board member of Tesla.
Now, Kimbal has hit out at Trump’s tariffs, deeming the retaliatory action a “structural, permanent tax on the American consumer”.
Taking his criticism one step further, he branded the Republican the “most high tax American President in generations”.
…
“Through his tariff strategy, Trump has implemented a structural, permanent tax on the American consumer.
“Even if he is successful in bringing jobs on shore through the tariff tax, prices will remain high and the tax on consumption will remain the form of higher prices because we are simply not as good at making all things,” he added.
It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and it’s always entertaining to see the mutts chewing on one another. “Dumber than a sack of bricks” applies equally to F’Elon Musk as well as to Peter Navarro.
Musk, 53, responded Tuesday to the trade adviser’s suggestion on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Monday that the Tesla boss was “not a car manufacturer” but “a car assembler,” pointing to the electric vehicle company’s importing of batteries and other key components to manufacture its cars.
“Navarro is truly a moron. What he says here is demonstrably false,” Musk wrote on X, adding in a subsequent post in which he tagged the “Re—d Finder”: “Tesla has the most American-made cars. Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks.”

Employees at the Department of Health and Human Services showed up to their offices on Tuesday to learn their fate: If their badges worked, they still had a job. If they didn’t, they had to clean out their desks.
“I was crying the entire drive to work today,” an HHS employee told Business Insider as they waited in line.
The employee said they saw a man walk past, wheeling out his personal belongings on a desk chair after being terminated.
“I’ve seen three people who went in, and then came back out and left with tears in their eyes,” said the employee, who was eventually let into the building. “People behind me are sniffling.”

A fire broke out at a Tesla dealership in Rome early on Monday, destroying 17 cars and damaging the building, firefighters told Business Insider.
Emergency services were called to the site in Torre Angela at about 4:30 a.m. local time, they said.
No injuries have been reported and investigators haven’t specified the cause of the fire, adding investigators were looking into multiple causes, including possible malice.
Possible malice?
Imagine that!
The Daily Mail reported the 26-year-old watched the company load up the $100,000 black Model S in Manhattan on Saturday.
“I’m selling it because I need to make up for the 60 percent cut that Elon made to our son’s child support,” she said.
St. Clair was asked why she believed Musk reduced her child support and whether she viewed the move as “vindictive.”
“Yeah, that’s his modus operandi, when women speak out,” she added.
St. Clair added she had not spoken to Musk since Feb. 13 and pointed to the Tesla stock price as evidence “I’m not the only one who is cleaning up after his messes.”

Poor Muskie just doesn’t seem to understand the concept of a popular movement. Nobody elected this creep in the first place. Most Americans just want him GONE to somewhere, anywhere!
According to CNN, Saturday marked a “global day of action” for the Tesla Takeover movement, which planned over 200 demonstrations at Tesla locations across the US and 300 more around the world.
In response, Musk spent his Sunday sharing reactions and memes on social media, insisting that Democrats are trying to “destroy my influence” by pushing “negative propaganda about me like the fake Nazi stuff.”
“Sure is insanely ironic that the people shooting bullets into Tesla stores, burning down cars, and generally being violent are calling me a Nazi when I have done literally zero violence at all,” Musk shared in one post.
In recent weeks, Tesla has been the target of protests and acts of vandalism. In some cases, activists have set fire to Tesla vehicles.
Protesters have taken issue with Musk’s role as head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which he has used to slash government jobs and dismantle agencies.
Musk also claimed in his posts that the protesters were being paid, and those who are funding them need to be taken care of.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland said that Tesla would be banned from all of Canada’s electric vehicle rebate programs and that any outstanding payments to Tesla owners would be paused.
Freeland said the policy was going into effect due to the tariffs the United States placed on Canada, which she described as “illegitimate and illegal.”
